Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

In the mid-1970s, Good Timesmade a star of actor/comedian Jimmy 'JJ'/'Dynomite' Walker. However, behind the scenes, the tension between the stars was relatively challenging. According to what Jimmie Walker once relayed, most of the show's cast rarely had any interaction behind the camera. Walker didn't recall having any conversations with actress Esther Rolle, who played his TV mother, Florida Evans, or actor John Amos, who played James Evans, his TV mother.

Yum Brands, the parent company of popular fast-food chains like Pizza Hut, KFC, and Taco Bell, reported mixed results for the second quarter. CNBC reported that while the company's earnings per share slightly surpassed Wall Street expectations at $1.35, revenue fell short, coming in at $1.76 billion compared to the anticipated $1.8 billion. This performance was primarily driven by a decline in same-store sales for Pizza Hut and KFC, which faced significant challenges both in the United States and internationally.
